Tell me some scary myths and legends stories.

One of the well - known real myths is the story of King Arthur. He was said to be a great king in Britain. With his Knights of the Round Table, he fought against invaders and protected his kingdom. His sword, Excalibur, was a symbol of his power and was given to him by the Lady of the Lake.

One scary myth story is the Chupacabra. It's said to be a creature in Latin American folklore that attacks and drinks the blood of livestock. Farmers would find their animals drained of blood with puncture wounds.

A well - known scary legend is the story of the Mothman. In Point Pleasant, West Virginia, people reported seeing a large, humanoid figure with wings and glowing red eyes. This Mothman was seen before a major bridge collapse in the area, leading to many to believe it was an omen of doom. Also, there's the legend of the Chupacabra. It's a creature that supposedly attacks and drinks the blood of livestock, mainly goats, in Latin American regions.

The origin of the vampire legend has roots in various cultures. In Eastern European folklore, there were stories of the undead rising to feed on the living, which was likely influenced by superstitions around burial and death. For example, if a body didn't decompose in the 'right' way, it was feared that the person would return as a vampire. The werewolf legend also has old origins. It may have come from people's fear of wild animals and the idea that a person could transform into something inhuman. In some cases, people with a medical condition called hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) might have been misidentified as werewolves.

One scary Japanese legend is the story of the Kuchisake - Onna. She is a female spirit with a slit mouth. Legend has it that she was a beautiful woman who was mutilated by her jealous husband. She now wanders the streets, covering her face with a mask or a fan. When she approaches someone, she asks if they think she is beautiful. If they answer 'no', she kills them immediately. If they answer 'yes', she removes her mask to reveal her slit mouth and asks again.

One famous urban myth is the story of Bloody Mary. It's said that if you go into a dark bathroom, light some candles, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times into the mirror, a ghostly figure will appear. Another is the legend of the Chupacabra in Hispanic urban myths. It's a creature that supposedly attacks livestock and sucks their blood. And there's also the vanishing hitchhiker myth, where people pick up a hitchhiker who then mysteriously disappears from the car.

The Slender Man is a famous modern urban legend. He is depicted as a very tall, thin figure with long arms and a blank face.

There is also the legend of the Rat Man in some cities. It is said that in the sewers, there lives a half - human, half - rat creature.
